Unfortunately, I was only able to get the one photo of it. I didn't have a chance to charge my camera after going to the zoo this past weekend and the battery died as I was taking the photo. Fortunately, it turned out OK.

Wow, a cardinal. I have never seen one except on a baseball jersey!

We're about 20 minutes away from Horicon Marsh, which is the largest marsh in the United States (I think it's around 32,000 acres in size). It attracts a lot of birds this time of year and we end up with quite a few of them stopping in our backyard throughout the summer.
